点评:Our friends we were traveling with had been here 15 yrs ago and highly recommended we all return. So we went on a Friday. First we stopped at the welcome station, however the bathrooms were closed. There are flush toilets near the base of the rock along with port-a-johns. Also there was a water refilling station.
Off we went up the rock on a sunny but very windy day! It was quite busy with people of all ages. Wear closed toe shoes, a hat/sunglasses and sunscreen.
The rock is steep looking in a few places but when you are actually on it it’s not as steep as it appears. It is not an easy climb up nor would I say it’s challenging but it is a workout. There are no loose pebbles but you will find areas that are not level so you must mind your step. It took us about an hour up and back and we sat and had a snack at the top.
We also did the Loop Trail at the bottom.
We returned at night for a Star Party at the base of the rock held in a parking lot. 3 rangers had telescopes and showed us various things in the night sky. If you’ve never attended such an event I recommend it.
翻译:和我们一起旅行的朋友 15 年前来过这里,他们极力推荐我们再来一次。所以我们周五去了。首先我们在迎宾站停了下来,但浴室已经关闭。岩石底部附近有抽水马桶和移动厕所。还有一个补水站。
我们在一个阳光明媚但风很大的日子登上了岩石!那里挤满了各个年龄段的人。穿上包头鞋、戴上帽子/太阳镜和防晒霜。
岩石在一些地方看起来很陡峭,但当你真正站在上面时,它并不像看起来那么陡峭。爬上去并不容易,我也不认为这很有挑战性,但这是一种锻炼。没有松散的鹅卵石,但你会发现有些地方不平坦,所以你必须小心脚下。我们花了大约一个小时来回,我们在山顶坐下来吃了点零食。
我们还在山脚走了环形步道。
我们晚上回来参加在岩石底部停车场举行的星空派对。 3 名护林员拿着望远镜向我们展示了夜空中的各种事物。如果你从未参加过这样的活动,我推荐你参加。
